XPC[1][2] is a private framework in iOS. I am hoping it will be made accessible before iOS 8 (unlikely).

I was really disappointed to see it's still private in iOS7.

Same. I am curious to see what sort of marketing treatment the feature will get come iOS 8 (hopefully 7.X), as it potentially blurs the line between apps and could be confusing if used for deeper integration than presenting a modal.
